Limit Breaking Genius Mage Chapter 370

Episode 370: Conclusion (2)

At first glance, he doesn't look like an adult.

The woman's appearance and voice were much younger than his.

He looks to be no more than 15 years old.

“Dad! Dadaaaaaa!”

Cries out to the sole guardian.

I tried to shake off the man's grip somehow, but it was impossible. The difference in strength between them was too great to narrow.

Watching such desperate struggles, the man let out pure admiration.

“Hey, look at that thing running wild. Where on earth was this thing hiding?”

“I didn’t know you lived near the city gates, let alone inside the city. Is this what they call the navel being darker than the stomach?”

“X-god, the thing under the lamp is bigger than the thing under the lamp.”

“Pine! Please, Pine───please!”

The father, whose whole body was covered in bruises, tried to help his daughter, but his mouth was trampled and he couldn't say anything.

After the stick was put to his neck, all he did was tremble.

The weak father's love was no better than an ant's struggle.

Ignorant men drag women into the alley, licking their lips greedily.

Very leisurely.

With a sadistic laugh, as if he were thoroughly enjoying the misfortune of others.

The envoy glanced at Verden, who remained silent.

His face was still hidden by his plain robes, but he looked uneasy.

Ah! The messenger who had clapped his hands at that moment ran forward out of breath.

“Hey! Hey! Stop it, stop it!”

“Huh? What… Huh!”

The soldiers who saw the envoy's face quickly stood up.

They had a familiar face.

The envoys who acted as the lord's attendants were of fairly high status within the city.

“These fucking bastards!”

"evil!"

“Ahh!”

“Snap!”

The messenger slapped the men's shins and then grabbed the woman by the back of her neck as if he was snatching something away.

Then he snatched the dagger from the soldier and hid it in his sleeve.

“Dad……Dadaaaaaa……!”

The feeling of desperate sobbing is getting closer.

The envoy licked his lips and squeaked loudly.

“Haha, look at my mind. I was so clueless, which is unusual for me. The lord told me to treat the wizard guest who seemed precious to him well.”

The envoy pushed the tearful woman aside as if doing her a favor.

“How are you?”

At that moment, Verden understood the reality of this unclaimed land.

I looked around the street for a moment.

Among the citizens roaming the streets, there are some who are crawling around in chains.

He is being dragged around like a slave by some guys. They don't even hesitate to whip him for fun.

All over the city, someone's screams, groans, and laughter can be heard.

A terrible disaster.

The providence of nature is incorporated into ordinary life.

Although this place was certainly more developed than Aranea, its society was less developed.

The biggest difference between the two cities was the lords. Depending on who ruled, the environment changed.

The unofficial city of Southern Pete.

The largest underworld in the Eastern Continent, Loafra.

By its nature, the armed forces effectively ruled the streets, but they were not as barbaric.

It's strange, yet familiar.

Gluttony, who used life force itself as a material.

The glory of the corpse that caused countless deaths for my purpose.

There are also internal conflicts in countries that are running smoothly.

The large and small bloodshed that is happening right before our eyes.

Even though they may look different on the outside, the overall framework is the same.

But the land without an owner is more naked, more essential, more primal.

This was probably commonplace in the distant past.

“Oh, do you prefer someone a bit older? Well, if you want to do it properly, it’s better that way! Most people who hate noisy things are like that. You know a thing or two, hahaha!”

“Is this fun?”

“Huh? What could be more fun than this? All the magicians I know say that it’s more thrilling to practice magic as a human than to just read books all day. In fact, it’s more efficient to do the same thing and have fun, right? Isn’t that right?”

“Yes, that’s right!”

… … Even unexpected human experiments were discussed.

Of course, it may not be at the professional level that Verden has seen so far, but the fundamentals of the act are the same.

Those who don't understand the situation are laughing out loud.

The weak deserve to be persecuted.

Surely that must be the rule established in this city by the lord Dalehin.

An absolute rule that if not followed will result in a horrible execution.

'It's the same.'

Naturally, Verden will not abide by the order established by others.

It may be considered normal here for a girl who is not even an adult to be raped in front of her parents, but there is absolutely no intention of understanding.

Because I don't like it.

It was the right of the strong to be able to express that psychology outwardly.

“I was going to start by having a conversation, but I guess that’s not necessary.”

“……? Well, if you’re not going to do it anyway, we can return it to you───”

"shut up."

Kwaaaaang!

The gravity, which contained an immense mass, pressed down precisely on the messenger. The sight was similar to the remains of a beast crushed under a huge rock.

"100 million."

Immediately afterwards, a sharp gust of wind blew off the necks of three soldiers.

Their expressions were light, as if they didn't even realize the pain. Soon, their eyes, which had been wide open, all closed.

Kookookookookook.

<Terrain Manipulation> devours corpses and bloodstains.

Verden, who had erased all traces, stored the camouflage robe in subspace.

His signature gray hair and clear blue eyes.

[Einver]'s noble radiance sparkles in the sunlight.

Verden nodded to the woman who was giving him a blank stare.

“Go in. Don’t come out.”

"ah……!"

Only then did she come to her senses and belatedly nodded.

I hurriedly helped my injured father into the house and locked the door tightly.

Verden turned his gaze to the lord's castle not far away.

'I was just going to deal with Dallehin and leave.'

To be precise, the goal was to confuse Liam Arlane enough that he wouldn't pay attention.

But then I changed my mind.

Well, I was planning on starting full-scale activities sooner or later anyway… … .

You can think of it as bringing the timing forward a little.

Verden, who summoned Orient, moved.

* * *

Dallehin was born and raised in a wealthy family.

He grew large by eating all kinds of good things that ordinary people would not dare look at, and invited famous warriors to learn his moves professionally.

After making such preparations, he poisoned his parents and brothers, took all their inheritance, and came down to an unclaimed land.

The plan went smoothly.

He bought soldiers with money, executed the lord himself, arrested and executed his family members… … and took control of the entire city by force.

Innate cruelty and ruthlessness.

Such Dalehins were excellent employers for soldiers and mercenaries who were crazy about money, violence, and women or men.

Crunch crunch.

A terrace with a clear view of the castle gate and interior of Yeongju Castle.

Three people are sitting at a long table eating.

One was eating at a moderate pace, one was eating leisurely, and the other was chewing his food like an animal.

Crunch, crunch.

The bull-man, 'Regalo', who chewed and swallowed the bones along with the meat, spoke while holding a bottle of alcohol.

“So, when do you plan on starting the war?”

Lord Dalehin, who was asked a question, twirled his knife.

“Isn’t that something we should talk about after you meet your employment conditions? You haven’t even finished eating yet, and you’re already impatient. You’re as belligerent as the rumors say.”

“What I want is to kill. Not to kill time by eating here.”

Regalo snorted.

This burly, muscular man is quite notorious.

Powerful muscles that can tear limbs like paper.

Two horns that can pierce through any helmet or armor with one blow.

A maddening violence that reveals the desire to kill regardless of whether it is male or female, or even race… … It was only for the sake of hearing the screams of the other person.

Across from Regalo, Dumal, who was cutting up a piece of completely uncooked beef, sipped his wine elegantly.

“The lord has already sent an envoy, so he will return within a few days. Of course, if he intends to extort more money, the land transfer will be postponed even further.”

“I can’t wait.”

“You’ve only been here a few days, so how impatient. Then why don’t you leave?”

Regalo and Dumal met eyes.

The two mercenaries that Dalehin called upon to bolster his forces do not seem to get along well with each other.

But I guess differences in temperament are a good thing.

Aren't they all intertwined with interests anyway? As long as their goals are aligned, that's all that matters.

“As soon as the messenger I sent returns, we will march on Arlane. No matter what Liam Arlane has to offer.”

“That’s good.”

Phew, phew.

Regalo gestured with an excited gasp.

A man and a woman, wearing only a piece of old cloth, who had been waiting nearby, approached cautiously.

The skin had turned red from being constantly exposed to the cold wind… … .

They were citizens of this city, provided by Dalehin.

“Kuuuuuu. How delicious. More delicious than the meat I just ate.”

“Ugh…….”

A huge horn struck the man's chest, and a calloused hand gently grabbed the woman's face.

It was terrifying.

Because if Regalo moves even a little bit, the woman's head will be crushed and a hole will be made in the man's chest.

The feeling of having control over a fragile life was pleasure itself for Regalo.

“Hoo.”

Lord Dalehin looked at the sight with interest.

Sadism is stimulated.

“…….”

Dumal looked at the two of them like trash, but didn't say anything.

They only eat meat dripping with blood.

But that atmosphere did not last long.

Thump… … Thump… … Thump… … .

A vibration rang out from somewhere.

For a moment I thought it was an earthquake… … but upon listening closely, it wasn't.

It wasn't like the entire ground was shaking, but rather, it seemed like some unknown epicenter was getting closer.

Frowning, Dalehin held onto the railing and stared at the thick, massive steel door before him.

"……what?"

It was right after that.

Kwaaaaaaaaaaah!

The gate burst open.

* * *

A sharp, large piece of metal shard flies obliquely.

It was a piece of a gate.

Dalehin, his eyes wide open, instinctively raised his fist upward.

Thump!

“Big……!”

It barely bounced off and crashed into one side of the castle.

Blood flowed down from Dallehin's head, as if he had been hit by a blade along the way.

'Is this really an attack?'

In any case, it can't be an accident. It's clearly an artificial phenomenon.

He raised his eyes and held the sword and shield he had placed nearby.

A strange man walked in through the half-broken gate.

Verden and Dallehin recognized each other.

“Are you Dalehin?”

“Wizard…? What are you? Who sent you? How dare you───”

“I heard that you can take away the land of an ownerless person by force. That’s why I came to take this city.”

What? It was absurd to hear to Dalehin.

It looks like there are no other invaders… …You came to take over the city alone?

That's possible, because there aren't many people in the land of the untamed who can fully handle the violence of numbers.

<Lightning>

Verden, who had no intention of chatting, fired a powerful lightning bolt.

“?!”

Dalehin reflexively raised his shield.

Then, a shadow suddenly appeared and was struck by lightning instead, landing on the ground.

“Kuuuuuu, this is quite tingling.”

Fierce advance, legally.

The breath of the water man who was caressing his blackened chest spread out white.

A sinister gaze glared at Verden.

“I don’t know what the situation is, but Dalehin, it looks like I’ve come to assassinate you. So I can do whatever I want with you, right? Okay? From the looks of it, I think I can have a lot of fun before I kill you.”

Kuung!

Regalo, who was muttering to himself, charges forward with both horns in front. His heavy weight is enough to leave footprints on the solid ground.

Verden aimed at the Orient.

<Earth Javelin>

<Levin Fatal>

A powerful resistance that can defeat earth magic head-on.

Even though the stone shard containing the lightning was embedded in his body, rather than slowing down, his speed increased.

'That's quite a tough one.'

Kwaaaaaaaang!

As Verden dodged, Regalo passed by and pierced through the wall.

The thing appeared from a gap in the rising dust cloud, carrying a corpse dangling from one of its horns.

Unfortunately, it seemed that Dalehin's soldiers were on the other side.

Regalo shook his head and chuckled as he removed the body.

“Oh, you’re not going to use <Flight>? You want to confront me head-on? I’ve never seen such a crazy wizard before.”

Once again, the extremely overweight guy rushed in.

A normal wizard would try to deal with it from a distance.

Because it's safer.

But Verden had no intention of burning the area to the ground or wasting time.

Verden, who moved nimbly while manipulating the ground, swung his staff.

Regalo fell down roughly after being hit in the knee.

“Khuhu, it tickles.”

Regalo's body cannot be pierced by any sword or magic.

His greatest weapon was his powerful resistance.

'For a wizard, the power contained in the staff was great, but that was all.'

There is no significant damage.

It was the moment when Regalo, who had twisted the corner of his mouth, raised his head and sat up.

<Arcane: Magic Fusion>

Orient was thrust down from above.

Oh my god!

An ominous wave resonates everywhere.

The ground is partially cracked.

Regalo, whose center was hit hard, opened his eyes wide.

"big."

Snap.

An ominous sound came from inside my head.
